A girl who loves music and travel can have her wish come true, right? Read about how I've dreamed of attending this for 3 years and how I got to Puerto Galera on my previous post! Hehe. I couldn't believe there's such a place in the Philippines like the Malasimbo Festival event grounds! Haha. It's located in the highlands (Mt. Malasimbo) and reachable via a jeepney ride. Well, my jaw dropped and I finally understood that this yearly Malasimbo thing in Puerto Galera is an arts and music fest close (and in a location known for going) to the beach (they might have yacht parties on the main days). There's a full-blown stage, an ampitheater (carved and somewhat like the rice terraces hehe), musicians and mind-boggling outdoor art installations. The wind was blowing strong (thicker jacket recommended) but the music was all that mattered. I found the music of L.A.-based Low Leaf in Malasimbo and I will not ever forget this experience anytime soon...

How to Go from Manila to Puerto Galera: My JAM Liner, Manolo Shipping, White Beach Resort Overnight & Korean Food Experience in Oriental Mindoro!
Whenever I want to go to the beach without boarding a plane from Manila, I automatically think of going North (especially that time in Nagsasa...). Fortunately for me this year, things changed when I got passes to the Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival in the South:) I wanted to see it for myself for 3 years now (ever since I heard about it) and the timing was always off. I loved how I only found out about the passes less than a week before, packed my bags and zoomed my way to somewhere I've never been before. Haha. Let me tell you now how I got to the Batangas Pier via bus from Cubao (since driving could be tiring) for the first time, where I stayed and what I did before going to the Malasimbo event grounds. I would definitely need this too for my next trip to Puerto Galera (Oriental Mindoro) :D
